Frank Schaeffer: A Plea from Evangelical Royalty

Frank’s father Francis Schaeffer was a prominent evangelical theologian in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. Together, Frank and his father made several influential evangelical films and books, and heavily influenced religious education, conservative policy, and the evangelical movement. The New York Times once called them “Evangelical Royalty”.

Frank left the church in “disgust” after witnessing “unchristlike behavior” on a leadership level across the nation. He wrote a memoir, Crazy for God, about this shift in the evangelical movement.

Now, Frank hosts a podcast called In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer and a blog where he warns people about the dangers of the radical evangelical movement.

In this interview, Frank recounts rubbing shoulders with all the prominent evangelical leaders back in his father’s heyday, describes the dangers of the current Republican Party, and pleads with the American people to do anything they can to stop another Trump Presidency, which he believes will be the beginning of American authoritarianism.
